About our bath resealing in Somerton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Somerton

Landlord and trade work in Somerton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Somerton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Somerton and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Somerton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Somerton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Somerton contact us are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
